Given that a moderator posted right before you, I would think that this thread's appropriateness to the P&OC has already been answered for you.

So why doesn't BYU sell caffeinated drinks on campus?

"At the LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University, caffeinated drinks are not sold. It is not because of a church or university edict, said spokeswoman Carri Jenkins, but customer demand. “Dining Services has made the decision to not sell or serve caffeinated beverages on campus,” she told FOX 13. “Simply based on what our customers want or do not want."

Uh huh.
Actually, Governor Romney DOES drink coke.

That actually doesn't surprise me in the least, as he is also pro-choice. If Romney had picked a moderate like himself for VP, I would have been just fine with the Republican ticket.

Great. So in what way is this topic political or controversial?

I see. So as I suspected, it's really neither; rather, it's just another "look at those goofy Mormons and can you really vote for one of their kind?" thread.

The GOP sure does. Forcing their religious views on the american people is one of their staples.

If it was the mods would have closed it and not commented on it.

Now I would appreciate it if you stop trying to hijack this thread, which is against the TOS.

Default Mormon Church Clarifies Its Stance on Caffeinated Drinks.

I'm so relieved, I was so concerned about this topic as I am sure most people are.

Certainly not as significant as a 5-year-old boy in Germany wearing a dress, right?
